3 Ways to Prevent Fat Gain After an Injury

3 Ways to Prevent Fat Gain After an Injury


#1 - Lower Carbohydrates. 
When you're training hard, having a decent amount of carbohydrates improves recovery, allows you to train harder, and refills glycogen levels giving you better leverage for your workouts.

When you're recovering from an injury, lowering carbs will improve insulin sensitivity and keep body fat in check. Your main carb sources should come from non-starchy vegetables. If you're eating carbs in all of your meals, remove carbs from just one meal and then reassess. The more severe the injury limits your ability to be active, the less carbs you'll need.

#2 - Awaken Your Inner Carnivore.
You HAVE to eat enough protein. Aim for 1 gram of protein per pound of bodyweight. We do this for a few reasons:

• Improves Recovery
• Suppresses Your Appetite
• Helps you retain more muscle
• It gives you another reason to eat more steak....(probably the best reason in my opinion)
• 
  

#3 - Get Rid of the Junk Food!

I know, this tip isn't what you want to hear. Everyone tells me they'll just buy the processed food and leave it for their family.......(we all know what really happens)

But what if you are married and have children?

You obviously can't deprive them of their favorite snacks. Here's the key: I bet your kids or your spouse have favorite snacks that you don't care for. THOSE are the treats that you keep around the house.

Remember, take this time to really focus on limiting body fat gain. In fact, we've had a lot of our clients actually get leaner during this phase. Their recovery time was shorter and they got back to their normal workouts MUCH SOONER.
